We connect intense study, evaluation, and learning with targeted investments to achieve measurable change for each of these vital issues.

Al and Virginia Meadows established The Meadows Foundation in 1948 as a resource to benefit and serve the people of their beloved Texas. They entrusted their vision to continuously improve the quality of life in our communities to future generations of their family. This meant not only to give, but to give well.
